Join us as we learn how a large law firm, Chapman and Cutler, got the job done.

How to Deliver a 2-3 Million Dollar Custom Content Management System On-time for $600,000

Most organizations have some sort of content management system to manage their digital content. For law firms, it is called a Document Management System. Chapman and Cutler has a DMS system which is past the end of it lifecycle, but estimates on the cost of building a new custom system were coming in at about 2.7 to 3 million dollars. Chapman and Cutler ended up using an innovative mix of commercial products, cloud vendors, Open Source projects and custom code to deliver a highly functional new DMS at a fraction of the estimated cost. This kind of development process, called a mashup, has become common at Internet startups, but is rare in mid-size businesses. Hear about the design methodologies, project management, testing methodologies, and political process used to deliver this innovative system.
